If you look at all the comments, it's interesting what he threw out as a double edge sword. Concerning the final rankings, he said he didn't think we'd be top 5, that there were a lot of 11-2 teams out there. But, by pointing out, that among the 11-2 teams, only USC beat 6 bowl teams and 3 top 15 teams. If that were considered when voting, it should give us a leg up.

The other side of the sword is that, if clemsux had done it, this is EXACTLY what Abo would be preaching, but he can only preach about the BCS win. This makes Abo look downright silly by comparison.

He's a beaut. It will rile up the taters, but only because it's true and they have no reasonable comeback.

Coach is lobbying for a top 5 ranking without trying to seem like it. That's why he said it. If you think about it for a second, any sportswriter will see that we played a very tough schedule and succeeded. We beat a lot of very good teams. We should be proud. anyway, SOS is making the case for the top 5.
